In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

Since the Scary Stuff Podcast first started back in 2020, our love for the work of the late Keith Giffen has been mentioned time and time again. On the eve of the release of our prose superhero anthology WHERE LEGENDS WALK, which opens with a dedication to Keith, it felt like the right time to do an episode in memory of a creator whose work meant so much to us. For the first portion of this episode, we're joined by recurring pod guest (and brother of our host Jacob) Jeremiah Jones-Goldstein to discuss the 1987 DR. FATE mini-series from DC comics, pencilled by Keith Giffen and written by J.M. DeMatteis. Following that discussion, J.M. DeMatteis was kind enough to return to our podcast for an interview, talking about the 1987 mini and his memories of collaborating with Keith over many, many years. This portion begins at 01:05:48. Finally, we're delighted to be joined by first-time guest (but someone we've been hoping to chat with ever since the pod started) Brian Keene. In addition to chatting with us about his memories of Keith, we also discuss one of Keith's more horror-centric tales: "Chigger and the Man" from 1988's comic anthology TABOO. This portion begins at 02:00:45. We cannot thank our three guests enough for their time, and the resulting episode is really special to us. We very much hope you enjoy it. And as always, thanks so much for listening!
